Way back in May I posted a photo of these cardboard pieces and asked if you could guess what I was going to do with this "trash". It has taken a lot longer to complete this project however here is the reveal. Each little hard cardboard tent got handpainted with gold paint. Then each one got a strip of gold paper attached to it. Then there was a lot of punching out names and hearts and attaching them to the little tents.
Here you see the finished project. Table place cards. A dear friend is having her 90th birthday and her stepdaughter and I are doing the table decorations for the party. In an earlier post I showed the ribbon bookmarks we made for each guest. We have also done candy bags with a cute header and edge punched and hearted with Happy 90th Elsbeth on them. 
This is the special place card for the birthday girl. I think she will be pleased with the extra attention. This will be a grand celebration for a grand lady. So never look at anything with only one purpose in mind. Anything is possible if you just imagine. My Grandma would be so proud that I learned such a valuable lesson from her. Thank you dear sweet Grandma. I absolutely know she is watching me from heaven and smiling.
My dear friend Lindsay reads my blog and guessed correctly. I think I may be putting the creative vibe in her mind as well. Good job Miss Lindsay Lollipop. :o)
Another week comes to a close and may you each have a terrific weekend. Celebrate the men in your lives as we have Father's Day this Sunday. I will be spoiling Mr. C as I am so fortunate he is in my life.
Happy Creating...

of course, it is obvious now that we see your creativity. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI never would have guessed yet as you said back then - so obvious!! I love them, and I'm sure your friend will too - beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny isn't it, how we can all look at the same thing and yet something totally different. I love that - I think it is the essence of what being human is.
Great post!
Well I am delighted to see what you did with the little tents! Such a great idea!

I just saw Sherry's post about the lovely flower pin you sent her and read your post about luncheon with a friends. The flower broach was a lovely way to end a wonderful day with friends.
ReplyDeleteThe items you are making for Elsbeth's 90th birthday are fabulous. What a joyous celebration that will be.
Have a great weekend. Tammy
